Hello!  My name is Kristi, but I also go by ScienceKnitGirl on Ravelry.  Long story. 

I will be 30 years old as of February 6, 2009.  My goal is to obtain a college degree in chemistry or some other science field and to successfully boil water without the smoke alarm going off.  I live in central Illinois with my husband Jake and Nugget, our puggle.

I am a self taught knitter of five years.  My mother-in-law taught me the basics of crochet, but so far I have crocheted most of an amigurumi duck and toyed around with doilies.

I spend a lot of time at the knitting shop called Needleworks in Champaign, Illinois.  They are a really diverse and knowledgeable group of people and I can easily find myself spending most of the day there. The owner is on a mission to get me to talk more; I'm pretty introverted.

As of spring of 2009, I am enrolled part-time at Parkland College.  I am aiming for an Associates Degree in Physical Sciences and hope to transfer to the University of Illinois afterwards.
